Fog settles into the valley at North Springfield most autumn mornings and burns off around nine, and the reservoir appears out of it like a sheet of tin. Groundly Property Services LLC is usually working before that lifts — mowing, trimming, edging and full cleanups through the green season, then plowing, shoveling and salting when the same roads turn white. Property work here means slope, gravel and old trees, and every place has one corner that needs its own approach. Winter narrows everything to a single question, answered by four in the morning: can you get out? Come spring those same driveways get their edges recut and the grass brought back where the plow rode.
